What the size on the sidewall means225/45 R18
225 · Width
The tyre is 225 mm wide, measured sidewall to sidewall.

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 is an ultra-high-performance summer tyre aimed at sharp handling and confident braking. The asymmetric tread with a wide outer shoulder is built for precise cornering, while the high-silica HSSC compound and Aqua Hydro Block channels improve wet grip and aquaplaning resistance. An aramid hybrid belt keeps the tread stable at speed, and pitch sequencing helps cut road noise. Mid-priced across the sizes we track.

    These guys are almost as fast and professional as a Formula One Pit Crew, with great prices to match. Big ups for transparently displaying your prices on your website, and for your focus on getting unstocked tyres in by midday next day. Called them at 3pm, had new tyres by 1pm today. Amazing service.
